The Ross Clan History (912 words) |
 | The old Rosses of Scotland, however, were perfectly distinct from the others, and from their possessions lying in the extensive districts so called, the presumption must be that it was their original seat. |
| Alastair, who was earl in the middle of the thirteenth century, was grand justiciar of the kingdom, and his son, William, fell at Bannochburn, 1314, leaving a son, Aodh, or Hugh, also fell in 1333, at the battle of Halidown Hill. |
| In the twelfth century a knight of the name of Ross, came from Yorkshire to Scotland, and settled on the lands of Hawkshead, of which family we find John de Ross obtaining a salvus conductus through England to pay his respects and devotions at the shrine of St. Thomas of Canterbury, in 1362. |
